Set In Stone

Throughout history, artists have captured the male behind in stone. This picture is one of the finest examples, with perfect proportion and tightly clenched. Is there anything more beautiful than the male behind, especially a Bubblicious Butt?

Buns of Bronze

As stated above, throughout history, artists have captured the male behind in stone. They also set them in brass, copper, iron, and other metallic sculptures. This picture is a fine example of one set in bronze, with perfect proportion, what piece of art!

Iron Moon

The Vulcan statue is the largest cast iron statue in the world, and is the city symbol of Birmingham, Alabama, reflecting its roots in the iron and steel industry. With the exception of a few years when his backside was covered, he has been known for mooning the city of Homewood. The Vulcan which stands on Red Mountain, is eternally "mooning" Birmingham's neighboring suburb of Homewood, Alabama.

Narcissus

In the middle years of the nineteenth century, scholars at the Academie de France had rather forgotten about the road to Tuscany. They resumed the habit of going there to work after Paul Dubois, who spent from 1859 to 1863 in Italy at his own expense had made it fashionable once more. Visitors to the 1863 Salon were surprised to discover the plaster version of Narcissus, in which they did not see the usual Neoclassical models but were confronted with a study from life, closely observed without seeking to be realist. Critics could not praise the work too highly. Some particularly liked the way in which, though drawing his inspiration from the Florentine statuary of the Quattrocento, the artist had primarily looked for beauty.
